Intranasal medication administration can be a quick and effective alternative route during a seizure when traditional routes like IV or IM may not be feasible. The medication is absorbed through the nasal mucosa and can rapidly reach the bloodstream. Other options like oral or rectal routes may not be feasible or preferred during a seizure due to the risk of aspiration or decreased absorption.
